Tennessee Titans: Has Derrick Henry already secured a Pro Bowl bid?
Pro Bowl voting has opened, and Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry has received the fourth-most votes from the fans.
Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry is one of the best running backs in the NFL. He’s leading the league in rushing with 1,257 rushing yards after winning the rushing title last season. His doubters said his age would be an issue, but he continues to prove them wrong.
The Titans’ main goal is to get to the Super Bowl and win the big game, but if it’s not in the Titans’ destiny to play in February, then the Titans will likely be representing in the Pro Bowl with a few players.
It looks like the Titans’ star running back has almost guaranteed his spot in the Pro Bowl. The NFL released the top-five vote-getters as fans pour in their votes for the Pro Bowl and Henry made the cut.
To no one’s surprise, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes received the most votes, with Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson coming in second. Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook edged out Henry at No. 3, Henry came in at No. 4, and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce rounded out the top five.
Henry has received 185,494 votes, which puts him right behind Cook. If we’re looking at it by conference, Henry received the second-most votes as a player in the AFC. It’s going to be tough for him to beat out Mahomes.
There’s no doubt that Henry deserves the recognition he’s finally getting. For the second season in a row, he’s proven that he’s an elite running back in the NFL and can compete with the best that the league has to offer.
